  Ich habe heute unerwarteterweise zwei Partien #brettspiele gespielt. Die erste Partie war #Villagers. Wir haben zwar zuerst die Regeln falsch gespielt, danach hat es sich als nettes Spiel für zwischendurch bewiesen. Partie 2 war #PaxRenaissance. Ich hasse es das Spiel zu erklären und selbst neu zu lernen, aber ich liebe das Spiel selbst. Solo viele Optionen, so viel Theme. Würde ich gerne viel öfter auf den Tisch bringen. Großartiger Tag 🤩

  I have a strange conundrum with the game #DarwinsJourney . Before our last game, I was heavily considering it to be sold. I always liked the gameplay when playing, but never was excited to get it to the table. When we played it this time, the first 15 minutes i though that it surely would land on the sale pile. But then that turned around because there definitely is a good game in there. Its also the favorite game of one of the members of my gaming group. What to do? #boardgames #brettspiele

  Heute das erste Mal #Container gespielt. Definitiv ein Spiel, das man einmal gespielt haben muss, bevor man die zugrunde liegende Economy versteht und sich die Leute nicht selbst rausnehmen. Leider waren in unserer Partie 2 von 4 klar aus dem Rennen. Wäre aber auf eine zweite Partie gespannt. Dann definitiv ohne off-shore bank und evtl mit der Erweiterung. Rein emotional hat es mich seltsamerweise weniger als meine Mitspieler gepackt. Noch ein paar Worte zum Preis: 🧵1/2 #brettspiele

  Ich habe jetzt in ca. 3 Tagen fast 4 Folgen des #podcast die strategische Stunde mit dem hier auch vertretenen @darkpact angehört (ich hoffe ich verwechsle da nichts 😅). Darauf gekommen, weil jemand das hier seinerseits empfohlen hatte. Absolute Empfehlung auch meinerseits für alle #wargame bzw #histogame Interessierte. Kein unnützes Geschwafel und was mir am wichtigsten ist: Oft selbst mehrere Runden gespielt bevor besprochen. Bin begeistert! https://strategischestunde.com/ #brettspiele

  Heute meine zweite Runde #Maria gespielt. Und wieder hat sich mein Eindruck vom ersten Mal bestätigt: das ist ein unglaublich cleveres Design, das aber leider nicht mein Herz erobert. Jeder Zug ist spannend und jede Position fühlt sich unter Druck gesetzt an... Trotzdem löst es in mir nicht dieses unbedingt mehr davon haben wollen Gefühl aus. Schade und gut, ein Spiel weniger fürs Regal. #brettspiele #histogames

  One week ago, we held our 2nd 3-day #18xx Franconia convention in a small town south of Würzburg, attended by 15 people (up from 8 last year). It was a splendid time even though I started to feel sick on the second day after a year of no illness at all. All kinds of 18XX were played, including 2 prototypes and I was able to fill a gap in my 18xx history with playing 1880. It didn't wow me, but it was nice to finally get my own impressions on the game. 1/2 #boardgames #brettspiele @18x...

  Played #18Hiawatha today for the first time offline, second time in total. The question for us as a group was whether it can deliver the 1817 system feeling in much less than the usual 10hour session. And it definitely does. Not sure if because of the shorter playtime things get amiss and how I like the always buy trains at face value rule, but we shorted, struggled with loans (35 per loan and 3 trains is tough 😅) and had fun. Would play again! #boardgames #brettspiele #18xx @18xx

  Adding to my last post I wrote a few more words about my impressions on #18Hiawatha in my latest blog post. https://18xx-franken.de/18hiawatha-first-impressions-2 #brettspiele #boardgames #18xx @18xx

  East Anglia again and again! Back at 1862 in all of its beauty. I struggle in the mid- to late-game when my new companies do too little because of too few trains or I didn't merge them properly. But also the early game has so many decision paths and basically everything you do and each pattern seems questionable. Starting two companies? Maybe do just one at a low price but high ownership and dump it? So much to think about, love it. #18xx @18xx #boardgames #brettspiele

  I played #CrossBronxExpressway today for the first time. It was some kind of side event at a Con where we mostly played #18xx but all 3 of us enjoyed it so much that it's now already set up for a replay tomorrow morning. Super slick gameplay with subtle ways to interact and incentivise each other and fantastic production. Love the layout and design of the extensive rules, play books and historical background. Looking forward to it and now need to play a real #COIN #boardgame #brettspiel...

  I played quite a bit in November, most of it was due to spending my last 3 days at #VPSCon . As usual I mostly played #18xx there. One was a prototype, #18Bavaria which I've now seen develop over some type and it's definitely in a playable state. Main feature is the intertwined back and forth between canals and trains at the time. Interesting! My highlight were a rediscovered #18Korea (silly fun with good decisions) and the new #CrossBronxExpressway @18xx #brettspiele #bgstats...

  Played #18Korea again yesterday. It's just So. Much. Fun. The timing when the war happens is not to be underestimated. Also interesting how the influx of cash sometimes completely screws over the late-game. One of my favorites right now, I also really like the playtime of 3,5 hours. #18xx @18xx #boardgames #brettspiele
